US MI: OPED: Want To Empty The Jail? Change How We Handle Drug Offenses
The Muskegon Chronicle, 04 Aug 2012 – I’m a criminal defense attorney. My practice includes court-appointed work for the many indigent of Muskegon County. I recently attended a meeting of the Muskegon County Board. On the agenda was funding for Muskegon County public defense. Several of my colleagues spoke to the board about high case loads and low pay. When they finished, one of the board members looked our way and asked how we could complain about pay when we can’t seem to do much about chronic jail overcrowding in Muskegon County. I wanted to respond, but couldn’t find the words. It is true, after all. Muskegon County has a severe jail overcrowding problem. Now that I’ve had time to reflect, I feel compelled to offer a response.
